Here’s what people say about Claires School Solutions
JACQUELINE - SUPPLY TEACHER
“The agency have been great and I will always recommend you to all.
You treated me with respect, support and understanding and I felt seen. I never just felt a number and that’s quite unique at times in this type of job.”
ANNE-MARIE - SUPPLY TEACHER
“I would like to say everyone is so kind and have been really flexible with my schedule and I’ve never felt that I had to work if I couldn’t. I’ve recommended the agency to people and shared my positive experience.
Thank you so much for the opportunities over the last 1.5 years, I couldn’t have done what I have without you all!”
INDEED REVIEW
“Claire’s is a good company to work for. They always pay on time. Recruitment consultants are friendly and listen to workers’ needs and preferences. Workplace culture is positive and supportive.“
EVA - SUPPLY TEACHER
“I’d like to say a massive thank you to every single one of you. When I joined your agency last year, I’d heard that you were all kind, caring and super professional – it was true! I’ve been through some tough times this year and you supported me, changed plans for me and always found me a nice school to work in, even when I was at my worst! I can’t really express how much you helped me to love teaching again, even when I was questioning myself, you were there to help me keep going! Also, thank you for sending me to this beautiful school, which I now have a permanent role in! You’ve been amazing and have had an incredibly positive impact on my life. I’ll miss you all!“
JESS - SUPPLY TEACHER
“A big thanks to Claire’s School Solutions who I have had the pleasure to work for as a supply teacher until now. They’ve given me the opportunity to teach in lots of schools and I’ve learned so much. They’re fantastic!“
LISA - SUPPLY TEACHER
“Thank you so much for being kind and flexible, not once have I felt any pressure to work and I have always been comfortable and confident enough to say no when it was best for me – as an agency that is so rare and really reassuring. I recommend you to people I know, as lots of people have a negative experience with supply agencies.”
TERRI - BUSINESS MANAGER OF DERBYSHIRE SCHOOL
“We think that the staff are super-efficient and professional, when we need last-minute cover you never fail to supply us with teacher cover, which is most appreciated. Your candidates are amazing as well.”
STACEY SUPPLY TEACHER
“Although an experienced teacher, I’d never been a supply teacher before. Claire’s was recommended to me by another supply teacher who had said that they are a small, friendly and approachable team who did everything in house. I was nervouse to meet everyone but needn’t have been – the team at Belper were incredibly friendly, reassuring and supportive. My first assignment has been an absolute pleasure and it’s given me back the confidence that I’ve lost. The personal touch of Claire’s is what makes them stand out.
Thank you to the whole team!”
KATIE SUPPLY TEACHER
“You really are a unique team, making a very difficult transition/life change all the smoother. Please realise that your kindness has a huge impact.”
DAVE KS2 SUPPLY TEACHER
“Working with Claire’s Schools Solutions is a pleasure. I have worked with Claire for over eight years with various agencies and always found her to be ultra-professional in her dealings with both the schools and teachers she has dealings with. I know that the information I receive when taking a placement will be accurate. The company’s philosophy of providing high quality professionals is implemented, thus reassuring schools and providing repeat placements, as Head teachers knows that they will welcome a high quality professional into their schools. Claire’s warm and caring nature ensures that we feel appreciated for the work we undertake on behalf of the Company.”
ZENA KS1 & KS2 SUPPLY TEACHER
“Claire has been my agency consultant for over ten years. What was abundantly clear at our first meeting was her warmth, kindness, and capacity for making people feel at ease. She has tremendous enthusiasm for her work and throughout our working relationship has demonstrated commitment, efficiency, and dedication. Her professionalism is blended with an abundance of interpersonal qualities. She inspires confidence and is tremendously supportive and encouraging. Teaching staff are made to feel valued and appreciated.”
REBECCA - HLTA
“Claire’s School Solutions have been a fantastic agency to work for. Both, Claire and Stephanie have been warm, approachable and caring in their roles. They have found me work in a range of lovely primary schools, and always been attentive to any issues I have had there. They make you feel completely supported and at ease.I have been so impressed with the way in which this agency is organised that I have recommended it to several of my teaching and teaching assistant friends. I am proud when I say I work for Claire’s School Solutions, schools respond very well to the feedback sheets that Claire provides. I have had schools ask for me back and received lovely comments from the school staff in several establishments.
Claire’s allow me to work flexibly and have offered me a great way of working whilst I study at university. I look forward to working with them for a long time. Thank you Claire and Stephanie.”
FREEHA - KS2 SUPPLY TEACHER
“I have been working with Claire for a couple of years now and I am extremely happy to continue to do so!
She is professional, friendly, warm and efficient. She has ensured that I am placed in schools in which I feel comfortable. She listens to the needs of the teacher as well as the school and is able to keep both parties satisfied Her rapport within schools is excellent and she is very well respected by the head teacher’s she’s developed relationships with. It has been a pleasure to work with her during the time that I’ve known her. There are few people that I feel happy working with, but she is definitely someone I love working with!”
JULIET - KS2 SUPPLY TEACHER
BEN- KS2 TEACHER
“Before I met Claire, I was considering leaving the teaching profession having had a difficult NQT year; today, having spent 12 months working exclusively with Claire’s, I am proud to return to full time teaching. The best aspect of Claire’s school solutions is their commitment to listening to and meeting the requirements of both the teachers and the schools they work with. Throughout my time with this agency, they were able to offer me work that met my financial and professional needs. The schools I worked for were all very welcoming and more than once I was told of the high quality that staff had come to expect from the teachers who worked for Claire’s School Solutions. Both Claire and Stephanie are friendly and easy to work with and have a wealth of experience in the supply industry. I have no hesitation in recommending Claire’s school solutions to fellow professionals and should I find myself in need of supply work in the future, Claire’s will be the first number that I call.” Ben KS2 teacher.

Through Claire’s School Solutions I have worked in a wide range of schools. They have been able to place me in schools that are appropriate for me because they have listened to me when I have discussed what sort of schools and year groups I enjoy teaching. This makes for one happy supply teacher!

I am an experienced primary teacher who left full time teaching just over a year ago because the workload was ridiculous. After being let down by another agency, a friend recommended Claire’s so I called them. Within a few days I had an interview, and the very next week I had my first day’s work. Since then I have rarely had a day without it. The staff are friendly, professional, light-hearted and caring (once they actually rang out of the blue just to check I was OK). They have enabled me to make relationships with certain schools and this has led to longer-term placements. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thanks guys!
